About Five18 Enterprises
Tent-Acles! started the way most good forts do: with furniture in the wrong place and a kid who wasn't done yet. Five18 Enterprises is the small team building it out.
Founder
Chris has spent his career building sales channels for companies in technology, health and beauty, grocery, and home improvement. He puts that understanding of business and product development into a brand kids and parents can both love — and he gets to build this one alongside his own children.
Artist in Residence
Raven is a sixth-grader who designs and sells custom masks on their own Etsy shop and beaded work at school markets — and they are the mastermind behind Ollie and the comic strip friends. Also a drummer, a devoted Twenty One Pilots fan, and happiest lost in a new drawing or with their cats, Sugar and Marshmallow.
Creative Engineer
Brayden is a soccer player, a musician, and a mathematician who likes a problem best when nobody has solved it yet. He brought a fresh way of looking at the design problems behind Tent-Acles! — and he is sure to keep finding solutions for whatever comes next.
